I'm going to fly from Germany to MEX this September, with return in mid October. Since I really want to try the B757 with CO over the pond and since CO is only going to join *A on October 24th I was think about a way how to get the miles to my M&M account later. Would it be possible to get a COFF Card and later transfer those miles to my Miles and More account? Or will I have to deal with both accounts? Is it actually possible to get an upgrade by using two different FF programms of different airlines but the same alliance?

And in general, are the B757 doing transcon for CO finally equipped with PTVs or is that not going to happen?

Many thanks for your responds.

As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks.

As far as the miles go, there's no way to transfer those points

Okay, that's what I thought. However, would it be possible if you turn up at the gate and have lets say 13000 CO miles and whatever MM miles (but not enough for an upgrade) to pack them together? Anybody know?

I believe not , usually you have to have sufficient points in a single programme .

I'm afraid if you showed up at the gate the agents head would probably pop off if you asked them to do something like that. While I'm sure it is impossible, your FF program help desk would know for sure.

No, you can't really do that.
What you COULD DO, however, is dip out of each account for some upgrades. For example, use your Continental miles to upgrade outbound segments, and your M&M miles to upgrade your return legs.

I hope you enjoy CO. It's no KLM, but it's certainly the best carrier we've got left in the States, IMHO. Even if they did just ditch AS.....

I am relieved to hear that CO is not as bad as KL ( at least I hope that is what you were saying , if it is the other way around then based on my experiences of KL I certainly would not want to fly CO ) .
